WC: 2022 France roster

[Bookker]

It can be ugly against the big teams
Fortunately Texier is here to show some flashes

Our depth is very limited , and especially we struggle a lot to score goals
That will be even more difficult without Da Costa, Bellemare and Roussel

 

[DangeRouss]

gap between two generations
some youngster will have to raise their game

 

[DangeRouss]

Deserved win against Kazakhstan - well done Les Bleus !

Next very important game vs Italy

 

[Friar85]

Thought they were a bit unlucky against Slovakia and deserved to win today. Any thoughts on why Bault is dressing over Guebey?

No
Good to see Tex back to his favorite position at LW
He has better shot from there

 

[Bookker]

Thought they were a bit unlucky against Slovakia and deserved to win today. Any thoughts on why Bault is dressing over Guebey?

Just because he has proven he can handle the international level in the OQT
Guebey has not such experience (yet) with France

And although Guebey was not a liability on friendly games, he hasn't make a big impression either

It's not a choice you can be mad about honestly

 

[Bookker]

Curious to see if France has fully regain his energy to push hard against Germany tonight

 

[DangeRouss]

France lost to Germany 2-3
the lack of energy in the 3rd period cost us the 3rd goal
we were close to tie it up in the last minutes
but considering we played with our backup and 24h of recovery less, it's a good result

Texier is playing better and better
He had a goal and a great game

Is Rech injured? He didnt play in this one.

He has been put to rest

 

[DangeRouss]

France - Italy today

a must win for each team to stay in Group A

should be a tight game

 

[SoundAndFury]

Both on paper, and by performance so far should be a solid win for France.

Who is starter for you today ?

 

[Lartsaman]

France - Italy today

a must win for each team to stay in Group A

Really? For Italy sure but you beat the kazakhs. That might be enough to stay.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Really? For Italy sure but you beat the kazakhs. That might be enough to stay.

Well it's just a rule of thumb that you want a head-to-head advantage in those kinds of cases. Relegation loss would still send France to 8th.

France - Italy today

should be a tight game

France is stronger than Italy on paper, also playingwise so far.

[Puck Dogg]

I expect France-Italy to be a low scoring affair. Texier has been so far the leading force of France, veteran forward Fleury is still looking for his first point of the tournament. There's some secondary scoring available by Bertrand, Bozon, Chakiachvili and Auvitu.

France should win this game but they are not as big favorites as they are made to be. Italy hasn't been as bad in this tournament as they've been before.

 

[SwissFan12]

As expected, Italy causing trouble to France. France seems way better when they have nothing to lose against bigger team.

 

[DangeRouss]

Who is starter for you today ?

Sorry for the late answer - Buysse was the starter

 

[DangeRouss]

France has been in trouble til the 58th minute but found a way to win

 

[DangeRouss]

The Ehlers family logically beat the Bozon family


Danes are looking good this year

 

[DangeRouss]

Captain Damien Fleury out for the rest of the championships
